Election Year or Fear!

[ramAnag]

Well last time I checked four were members of Parliament, two are raking it in on the after-dinner speaking circuit, ones too rich to give a toss about anything and ones gearing up to be leader of the free world. Can you think of a prerogative adjective for me please?

Or…one has his reputation in tatters as a dishonest, dishonourable and immoral liar who threw away his Party’s best position for years. One has the reputation of being the worst PM this country has even known and has just lost her seat, one has lost his reputation and his job and now has to go on minor celebrity TV shows, one is indeed ‘too rich to give a toss’ but has just lost one of the safer seats in the country, one may be ‘gearing up to be leader of the free world’ but has, since our exchanges began, lost that very same position and been proved to be a criminal, one has ‘disappeared’ from once being the most powerful government advisor in the country, two have kept their seats but been sacked from Cabinet positions and now belong to a barely relevant political party, one has kept his reputation but no longer has a Party and one has just been elected, at the eighth attempt, to a position he doesn’t really want.
Still…if you only judge people according to their level of income/wealth I suppose you have a point. Thought better of you.

So rA. you're saying he shouldn't play to his strengths?

Lol. I’m saying, after his recent contributions, I no longer know what they are.

Income is one measure of success, in fact last time I checked it’s right up there in popularity, however I didn’t mention income in five of the eight cases.

…and, to coin your rather overused phrase, ‘the last time I checked’ I hadn’t mentioned ‘success’.

Being serious for a mo Harris is streets ahead of Abbott intellect wise (imagine a Biden/Abbott ticket!’) plus, Harris sort of reminds me of Jackie Brown era Pam Greer which would get my vote any time

Oh come on, Forest Gump is streets ahead of Abbot, and at least he knows how to match shoes into pairs.

I wouldn't have a problem with Harris assuming the mantle, she seems competent, which the past two POTY's have struggled with. But I'm not sure the US voters would be so supportive. I'm not sure they are ready for a woman POTY let alone a first Blasian one. She was picked as VP by Biden as a shield against assassination on this basis after all.

Suspect Tricky only identified a comparison between Harris and Abbott for one reason and one reason alone which speaks volumes.

Being potentially the first woman President, let alone a Black/Asian woman, is - sadly - something that I fear will polarise Americans even more than the current far Right Republicans v far from Left wing Democrats and fuel the bigotry which Trump/Vance/MAGA supporters already thrive off.

She isn't even popular among democrats
She was given 2 tasks.
Sort the borders out + electoral reform and control. Shes made a dogs dinner of both
I was probably harsh over putting her on a level of Big D, Diane is off the charts for gaffes.

You can suspect all you like, buffoonary comes in all sizes and colours, don't play that card with me.

She has made a right fiasco of the US borders, with over 10M pouring in, since her watch. The irony being, she has now put some of Trumps restrictions back in place. God you sound like Meghan Markle at times, it really is pathetic.
Can't get my own way, so I'll drop the race card in there. Its something Harris loves to do as well.

Whilst on about it, I see the EU figures are out.1st time Asylum cases up 60% to over 1.06 Million.
Germany and the UK listed as the most desired places, especially as most of the others turn them down

The EU really is useless at this. It has so much to answer for in lives lost/ misery inflicted/ economic disaters.
The US is doing its own version of it.

The Irish population, has jumped from 3,5 million to 5,5 million in 2 minutes flat, with no planning and structures put into place.
Folks wonder why they are kicking off. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qULYSPyNK4k

All future elections in the west are going to get very volotile over this. The self harm is off the charts.

Lol…it does indeed Tricky. Your immediate and instantaneous response was to compare Harris with Abbott. No one else…just Abbott…and yet what do they have in common other than both being, coincidentally of course, black, female politicians?
Harris is not particularly left wing. She is not given to gaffes. She is a high achiever and, contrary to your suggestion, far from stupid and yet you couldn’t help your instant, unthinking comparison.
As has been said before…if you repeatedly sound like a racist and act like a racist then the chances are…..well you know the rest.

He's a dick? Sorry duck, typo 😀

Lol, OK Meghan, you use that all you like. i can't be a priNcess, so you ARE all racist

BTW, the woman herself uses the coconut tree emblem on her tweets.
The last time she ran for the office, she pulled out as only 4% wanted her. Shes a weapon in its loosest terms and failed miserably in the only 2 tasks given her. Biden kept her on a leash for a reason

Tricky…I have no idea what Meghan Markle has to do with this, other than that she’s a third, coincidentally, black woman who seems to be in your sights today.

As for Kamila Harris including a coconut tree in her ‘emblem’. I believe it’s something that relates to an old saying of her mother’s and her way of reminding people that none of us live in isolation and should remember where we come from.

No idea what you thought it meant, but as someone who makes racist jokes, refers to Farage as ‘Sir Nigel’, openly admires Tommy Robinson, bangs on endlessly about migrant ‘invasions’ and immediately compares Kamila Harris to Diane Abbott, I suspect most of us know a lot more about you than you know about KH.

brilliant.
I always knew you lived in a bubble, now I know it.

Meghan Markle is the best narcissist ever. Even though she hardly looks black, she plays that card every time to get he own way, whilst ignoring her white father.
Just like you do, criticise anyone thats not white and you bleat racism everytime. Its the calling card of the wet left.
Diane Abbott may be black, but shes a proven anti white racist herself, as well as being as sharp as a plank of wood. But you can't criticise her, or take the piss because shes black

AS OR THE REST OF YOUR RANT, ITS LAUGHABLE.
Now get yourself a hot cocoa, with your leather elbow cardi on, have an early night.
Your ignorance of what happens around you means you bubble is probably air tight.
Love and light xx

No rant, TTR…well not from me anyway…but I really can’t keep up with your non sequiturs.
To the best of my knowledge I’ve never mentioned Meghan Markle before today, or defended Diane Abbott…beyond believing her to be a good constituency MP who got promoted beyond her ability. You’re the one who’s brought them both up in relation to KH, but whatever goes on in that curious little head of yours must be true, so I’ll leave you to it.
